Default Lowering the Lude & Changing Struts

Alrights so my front left shock is out and I decided it was time to buy some nice shocks. I got some KYB AGX adjustables and I got this Racer Design coilovers. I have decided I'm just going to get a better brand and pay a little more since suspension does play a big role in my opinion.

So the question here is....Ground Controls or Lower Springs (Eibach, Neuspeed)

I've heard stories that coilovers are a pain in the *** because you have to weight each corner of the wheels to get them adjusted to the right height or something like that, and lowering springs are already set to lower the ride to the right level.

Also another thing that I want to keep in mind is that with coilovers I could always lower the ride more or raise it up.... and I was thinking a 1.5 drop..

You guys give me your opinions and how much do you guys think a car should be dropped...I don't want to be hitting all the curves...

Thanks yall

i had this same situation and i went with neuspeed racing springs and koni shocks.
the reason is because i wasn't really going to adjust ride height and i wanted a set-up mainly for racing.

drop is about 2" to 2 1/2" and the car runs nice, a little rough for the girls though

go with ground controls for adjustibility and suspension tuning flexibility.

springs if you just want a drop.
